Leak & Slab Leak Detection in Tempe: What to Know
Most homes here sit on concrete slabs with water lines underneath. A high water bill, warm spots on the floor or the sound of running water with everything off can point to a hidden leak.
- Rental properties near ASU see heavy fixture use and frequent drain and toilet repairs.
Why slab leaks are common in the Valley
Most Phoenix-area homes are built on concrete slabs with copper or PEX lines running beneath them. Shifting expansive soils, hard-water corrosion and pipe abrasion against concrete can open pinhole leaks you can't see.
Repair options
Once a leak is pinpointed with acoustic and thermal equipment, options include a spot repair through the slab, rerouting the line through walls or attic, or a full repipe for homes with repeated leaks. A good plumber explains the pros and cons of each.
